{"product_id":"antique-riviere-with-paste-and-sterling-silver","title":"Antique Sterling Silver Paste Riviere Necklace","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"102\" data-end=\"415\"\u003eAn elegant and highly collectable rivière necklace, dated 1891. This finely made piece features a continuous line of foil-backed paste stones, each carefully faceted and individually set to create a softly graduating flow of light along the neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"782\"\u003eThe stones display impressive brilliance, their foil backing enhancing both depth and luminosity. Each is set in sterling silver with clear hallmarks consistent with its 1891 date, confirming authenticity. The silver has developed a gentle, age-appropriate patina, adding to its character. The pastes are close backed with a crown collet setting. Almost every stone is stamped with the lion passant on the closed, dome backs. The necklace is fitted with a large bolt ring clasp, in good working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003eA refined example of late 19th-century design, the necklace remains in excellent overall condition. Several claws are loose, and it is therefore best suited to careful, occasional wear. Please refer to the photographs for close-up detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eA true collector’s piece, offered in such lovely condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eStamps: lion passant, makers mark (partially worn), Birmingham, 1891\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eStones: paste, foil backed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eWeight: 30.79g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eLength: 43.3cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eCondition: Good antique condition consistent with age.
